Is a sperm-donor a father? The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently decided this is not necessarily the case. A woman asked a man she knew to be the sperm donor so that she could conceive a child. The woman agreed that this was a sperm donation only and that the donor would have no financial responsibility nor would he have any visitation rights. Well, after that she decided otherwise and took him to court to grab his cash.

Lower courts decided that he should pay, and he was ordered to pay more than $60,000 in back support. The recent PA Supreme Court decision overturns this, favoring donor’s rights.

“Where a would-be donor cannot trust that he is safe from a future support action, he will be considerably less likely to provide his sperm to a friend or acquaintance who asks, significantly limiting a would-be mother’s reproductive prerogatives,” Justice Max Baer wrote in the majority opinion issued last week.

What they didn’t tell you about the HPV vaccination. It is turning out to be the most painful of childhood vaccinations, and girls are actually fainting from it. Girls are complaining it burns when the liquid goes in and their arm is sore the next day. Ok, that’s not so bad, and to prevent cancer and disease a moment of discomfort does not seem unreasonable. I remember as a kid there were some shots that hurt my arm for a few days after (perhaps it was the smallpox shot… yes I am that old!) Perhaps this vaccine is getting a bit more bad press because of the initial controversy surrounding it?

Rock bottom. Police were called to Britney Spears home where there was a 4 hour custody standoff ending with KFed taking the kids and Britney being taken off in an ambulance. Those poor little boys. Let’s hope they are taking her away somewhere safe for a looooonnnggg time so she can get the help she obviously needs.
